YouTube has, in six parts, Ozren Milharcic’s 2006 feature documentary on the Bruce Lee statue,“Enter the Dragon”. Mostar is most famous for the elegant stone bridge that connected the east and west sides of town for over 400 years. In 1993, the bridge was intentionally destroyed; in 2004, it was reborn in an impeccable reconstruction.

The BBC has a short documentary of the local music group Mostar Sevdah Reunion performing on the bridge as it is being rebuilt. Despite the bridge’s return, Mostar remains a fragmented town; in 2003, the International Crisis Group issued a report on how unity could be achieved. The De/construction of Monument Project has details of its other monuments and projects throughout the former Yugoslavia. The New York Times points out a trend of memorializing pop heroes in Serbia, including a Rocky Balboa statue and plans for a Tarzan statue.

When a genocide occurs nobody knows what to expect, but the outcomes are devastation. It is unbelievable on what human beings do to each other. This affects the community as a whole and it is unforgettable. The Choeung Ek Memorial is located in Cambodia. This memorial is unique because it exhibits the human remains of the victims. But it has become a controversy because tourist has to pay a fee to go and see the Memorial.

Despite of the critiques that this Memorial has encountered it helps many see the atrocities that were committed against the Cambodians. It is imperative for this type of atrocities to not happen again. In my opinion the victims remains should have proper burial and instead of displaying their remains. One alternative would be a wall with each victims name engraved or a Museum for the tourists to see.
